Article Synopsis
  • Listeria monocytogenes poses a heightened risk for cancer patients, leading to more severe health outcomes compared to the general public; the neutropenic diet (ND), which avoids fresh produce, is traditionally used to lower this risk.
  • A study developed decision analytic models to evaluate the ND's effects against other dietary practices, finding that the ND resulted in higher rates of neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC) and more negative health impacts overall.
  • The results suggest that safer food handling (SFH) practices are more beneficial and less risky than the ND for cancer patients, leading to a recommendation to adopt the SFH diet instead.
